  • Summary

    Problems involving disruptive behaviour constitute one of the most frequent causes of clinical referral. One of the striking features of all studies of psychosocial stress and adversity is the wide diversity in people's responses. Kazdin provides a comparable service with respect to therapeutic interventions. He notes the lack of evidence for traditional counselling or relationship approaches but points to the modest efficacy of four, somewhat related, modes of intervention; parent management training (PMT), cognitive problem-solving skills training (PSST), functional family therapy (FFT) and multisystemic therapy (MST). Each focuses on interpersonal interactions and on means of coping with real life challenges and problems, but does so with somewhat different emphases and therapeutic techniques. In pointing to the demonstrated benefits of these forms of intervention, he also draws attention to some of the key challenges that remain.
